Even in the very midst of his sermon
when he. like the born orator he was, was

now flashing with color. catching quick
| breaths at some passage. settling into rest
at another. Only at such times did her
heart and soul stand revealed. and he-be
was the minister of God speaking his word
| In this ueople with his whole heart and soul:
! he could not divide himself from that to
watch her then. only he had a supreme.
happv consciousness that one heart received
every word he said However far away
and distant she was at other times. she was
always near him then.
